Chapter 381 - Hidden Beneath a Mountain!

The miniaturized Ancient Blood Clone continued to go further and further away from the sanctum as he came across a few monstrous auras of Fire Behemoths, marking all of their locations as he continued forward and mapped out the fantastical areas of the Celestial Realm himself.

He had come across and taken down a few Fire Behemoths with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team over the past few days, each time getting his hands on a piece of the large beasts’ bodies as he went on to create another 4 Pieces of the Incandescent Flameborn Set, the other four pieces being the b.r.e.a.s.tplate, leggings, boots, and armguards. All he had left to craft was the crown and he would have all 6 pieces of the powerful set.

The boosts of these items were not a joke either, Noah looking at their description as the clone continued speedily moving towards an unknown location.

[B.r.e.a.s.tplate of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +150% Enhanced Defense, +50% Fire Element Resistance, +50% Increased All Element Resistance, and Grants the ability of Extreme Heat Resistance.

[Leggings of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +100% Enhanced Defense, +50% Fire Element Resistance, +50% Increased All Element Resistance.

[Boots of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +50% Movement Speed, +50% Enhanced Defense, +25% Fire Element Resistance, +25% Increased All Element Resistance. Unaffected by the burning grounds they stand on.

[Armguards of the Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +25% Enhanced Attack and Cast Speed, +25% Enhanced Defense, +25% Fire Element Resistance, +25% Increased All Element Resistance.

The items had huge boosts when it came to withstanding the attacks of flame Behemoths, making them top tier pieces of armor to wear for anyone traversing the Northern region that was filled with Flame Behemoths.

The Glaive that was of the fire element would actually deal less damage to these same behemoths as they were extremely proficient in the Law of Fire, with Noah needed to find a weapon or the water element similar to the ones that Boru and his team carried to gain extra battle power against Flame Behemoths.

He put this in the back of his mind as he focused on carefully following the golden arrow forward, noticing that the arrow was now blinking!

This made him excited as it indicated he was actually nearing the supposed location!

He continued traveling below the waving grasses as he observed the ground he was running on gradually becoming elevated as he continued forward, this actually causing a change to the arrow as instead of pointing straight, it began to edge further downwards as he continued following the ascending ground.

He brought himself to a stop as he climbed the grasses around him, picking his tiny head to observe the surroundings more as he confirmed he was now beginning to go up an enormous volcanic mountain that had bubbling molten earth at the top. This mountain covered his entire sight as he could barely discern its peak or where it ended as it encompassed everything around him.

The surroundings were much hotter than the explored regions near the Sanctum as a dangerous feeling was permeating all throughout this mountain.

The Ancient Blood Clone’s face hardened as he realized that the golden arrow had begun pointing downwards the moment he began ascending the mountain, which meant that whatever treasure it pointed to was located at the bottom of this enormous volcanic mountain!

He took a deep breath as he changed his tactics, his body glancing at the earth below him as his figure disappeared beneath it. His speed became unbearably slower as he used the tiniest amount of power to allow his small body to drill through the extremely hard earth, following the blinking golden arrow as it continued leading him to an unknown location, and this particular location was in the middle of an enormous volcanic mountain in the Celestial Realm. More than half an hour passed as he continued to drill further and further down, the only thing around him being gradually reddening earth.

SHAAA!

The figure of the clone came to a stop after some time as it broke through the layers of earth that were getting hotter and hotter, actually finding himself breaking through an enormous underground Cavern that had a powerful red tint from the overflowing lava and molten earth that could be seen from all around!

He had pierced through the layers of this enormous mountain and arrived at this expansive underground Cavern that was actually tens of miles wide, seeming like an entirely new world to the miniaturized Noah.

What was shocking about this lava filled cavern he had found himself in though, was the single mountainous Behemoth that was lazily floating atop the sea of lava!

The eyes of the Ancient Blood Clone widened as they landed on this regal but monstrous beast as he shook his head exasperatingly.

’Haaa...thats a f.u.c.k.i.n.g Elite Behemoth isn’t it?’

Noah stared into the expansive cavern where molten lava flowed from all around while a single monstrous beast floated atop this flowing molten earth peacefully.

The aura coming off its body was that of an oppressive beast that could devour everything, but Noah’s mood slightly became better after he noticed that the overpowering feeling wasn’t exactly the same as Grandmaster Vredral who at the Domain Expansion Realm.

Yet...this being had a hint of that aura, making Noah believe that this was a Behemoth that was half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm, and this still classified it as an Elite Behemoth!

The clone released a tense breath as it observed not too far from the immense Behemoth, there was an exquisitely raised pedestal that was filled with ancient runic lines, and at the top of this pedestal there lay a brilliantly shining red crystal that caused his heart to tighten just from looking. The golden arrow from the [Treasure Hunter] of the Spiritual Lana was blinking rapidly at this moment, seemingly trembling with excitement as it had reached the goal it was pointing to as it began to slowly fade away. The eyes of the Ancient Blood Clone glowed a sharp light as he finally came upon a treasure in the Celestial Realm!

This apparent treasure was actually protected by a beast that would normally be taken down by an Elite Team of Celestial Grandmasters, even if it fell on the weakest side that could possibly be hunted by the strongest Normal Exploration Teams like Boru’s that now had the addition of Noah’s main body and Athena.

The main issue remained the same though! Whatever this fantastical treasure that the Spiritual Land’s [Treasure Hunter] had led him to was, to get his hands on it, he had to get past this powerful Fire Behemoth that was half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm!
